عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُعْتَكِفًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَزُورُهُ لَيْلًا فَحَدَّثْتُهُ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ فَانْقَلَبْتُ فَقَامَ مَعِي يَقْلِبُنِي وَكَانَ مَسْكَنُهَا فِي دَارِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَمَرَّ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْرَعَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رِسْلِكُمَا إِنَّهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيٍّ فَقَالَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَجْرِي مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ وَإِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمَا شَرًّا أَوْ قَالَ شَيْئًا
It is narrated from the wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in a state of i'tikaf. I came at night to visit him (peace and blessings be upon him), so I spoke with him, and when I got up to leave, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also stood up to escort me back. My house was near the house of Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him). Two Ansaris passed by us, and when they saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they hurried to pass by quickly, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "Wait, wait, this is Safiyyah bint Huyayy (who is my wife)." They said: "Glory be to Allah! O Messenger of Allah! (How could we think otherwise?)" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Satan circulates within the son of Adam like blood, and I feared that he might cast some evil thought into your hearts."
